A possible high-redshift origin for the short GRB 061201: implications of a compact binary merger beyond cosmic noon
E. Troja, B. O'Connor, Y. -H. Yang +4
Short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) at redshift z>2 remain exceptionally rare, yet they are crucial for tracing compact binary mergers in the early Universe and understanding their role…
High-Energy Shock Breakout from Supernovae and Gamma-ray Bursts
Chris L. Fryer, Eric Burns, Joseph M. Colosimo +2
Cosmic explosions play a critical role in a broad range of astrophysical fields. Although considerable progress has been made to understand the explosive engines and their progenit…
A milli-Tidal Disruption Event Model for GRB250702B: Main Sequence Star Disrupted by an IMBH
Jonathan Granot, Hagai B. Perets, Ramandeep Gill +2
GRB250702B is the longest GRB recorded so far, with multiple gamma-ray emission episodes spread over a duration exceeding ks and a weaker soft X-ray pre-peak day…
The Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (AXIS) Community Science Book
Michael Koss, Nafisa Aftab, Steven W. Allen +395
The AXIS Community Science Book represents the collective effort of 592 scientists worldwide to define the transformative science enabled by the Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (A…
Comprehensive X-ray Observations of the Exceptional Ultra-long X-ray and Gamma-ray Transient GRB 250702B with Swift, NuSTAR, and Chandra: Insights from the X-ray Afterglow Properties
Brendan O'Connor, Ramandeep Gill, James DeLaunay +22
GRB 250702B is an exceptional transient that produced multiple episodes of luminous gamma-ray radiation lasting for ks, placing it among the class of ultra-long gamma-ray bur…
The redshift distribution of Einstein Probe transients supports their relation to gamma-ray bursts
Brendan O'Connor, Paz Beniamini, Eleonora Troja +9
The launch of the \textit{Einstein Probe} unleashed a new era of high-energy transient discovery in the largely unexplored soft X-ray band. The \textit{Einstein Probe} has detected…
Evidence of Energy Injection in the Short and Distant GRB 250221A in a High Density Environment
Camila Angulo-Valdez, Rosa L. Becerra, Ramandeep Gill +29
We present the photometric and spectroscopic analysis of the short-duration GRB 250221A ( s), using a data set from the optical facilities COLIBRÍ, the Harlingt…
AT2025ulz and S250818k: zooming in with the Hubble Space Telescope
Yu-Han Yang, Eleonora Troja, Marko Ristić +19
AT2025ulz is an optical/near-infrared transient discovered during follow-up of the candidate gravitational wave (GW) event S250818k. Its young age (1 d), rapid decline an…
Exploring the connection between compact object mergers and fast X-ray transients: The cases of LXT 240402A and EP250207b
R. L. Becerra, Yu-Han Yang, Eleonora Troja +29
The connection between compact object mergers and some extragalactic fast X-ray transients (FXRTs) has long been hypothesized, but never ultimately established. In this work, we in…
GRB 250704B: An Off-axis Short GRB with a Long-Lived Afterglow Plateau
Vishwajeet Swain, Tomás Ahumada, Sameer K. Patil +27
We present a detailed multi-wavelength afterglow study of the short GRB 250704B, extensively monitored in optical and near-infrared bands. Its afterglow displays an unusually long-…
Optical/infrared observations of the extraordinary GRB 250702B: a highly obscured afterglow in a massive galaxy consistent with multiple possible progenitors
Jonathan Carney, Igor Andreoni, Brendan O'Connor +31
GRB 250702B was the longest gamma-ray burst ever detected, with a duration that challenges standard collapsar models and suggests an exotic progenitor. We collected a rich set of o…
Radio observations point to a moderately relativistic outflow in the fast X-ray transient EP241021a
Muskan Yadav, Eleonora Troja, Roberto Ricci +7
Fast X-ray transients (FXRTs) are short-lived X-ray outbursts with diverse progenitor scenarios, including compact object mergers, stellar core-collapses and tidal disruption event…
The curious case of EP241021a: Unraveling the mystery of its exceptional rebrightening
Malte Busmann, Brendan O'Connor, Julian Sommer +19
Fast X-ray Transients (FXTs) are a rare and poorly understood phenomenon with a variety of possible progenitors. The launch of the Einstein Probe (EP) mission has facilitated a rap…
